VAN EVERY, Clarke--In loving memory of a dear father and grandfather, Clarke, who passed away June 6, 2003.
Those we love
are never really lost to us.
We feel them
in so many special ways
through those
they always cared about
and dreams they left behind,
in beauty that they added to our days
in words of wisdom
we still carry with us,
and memories that never will be gone.
Those we love
are never really lost to us,
for everywhere their love
lives on.
Sadly missed, always loved and always remembered by John, Lyle, Joan and families.

VANHORN, BETTY--In memory of a dear wife and loving mother and grandmother, Betty (Howard) VanHorn. Oct. 28, 1935 - Oct. 26, 2003.
The stars don't shine so brightly
The sky is not so blue.
Our lives are changed forever
Being here without you.
You were gone so quickly
So many things unsaid
Never wanting to worry us
You left quietly instead.
Our hearts are heavy
The tears still fall
We know you are safe now
Watching over us all.
Sleep well dear Mom
No sorrow, no pain
Until the day comes
When we will meet again.v Forever loved by John, Hector, Jaqueline, Becky and families.

VANHORN--In loving memory of our mother, Ethel Vanhorn, who passed away February 17, 2008.
One year ago you left us,
Lifted from your pain.
Your memory stays in our hearts
And there it shall remain.
When you had your health,
You enjoyed your life
With family and your friends.
A quilt to sew, a cup of tea
Or bingo at days end.
You fed the birds,
Enjoyed a joke
And had a hand to lend,
To anyone who needed help,
You always were their friend.
We miss you Mom, but keep you near
With the memories we share
Imbedded in ours hearts,
You always will be there.
Lovingly remembered by Reg and Pat.

VANZANT-In loving memory of Boyen Vanzant, who was killed March 28, 1970.
His smiling ways and pleasant face
Are a pleasure to recall
He had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
Some day we hope to meet him
Some day we know not when
To clasp his hand in a better land
Never to part again.
Just a thought of sweet remembrance,
Just a memory sweet and true
Just the love and sweet devotion
Of a friend who thinks of you.
Dorothy Moggy.

VAREY--In loving memory of a dear sister, Mildred, who passed away one year ago, July 17, 2005.
Dear Mil
- The moment that you died
Our hearts split into two,
The one side filled with memories,
The other died with you.
Each time we see your picture,
You seem to smile and say
"Love each other for my sake,
Today and every day."
Love, Iva, Marvin and family.
We love you and miss you, Mil.

VAREY, Russell—in loving memory of a dear husband, who passed away September 17, 1978.
Beautiful memories
Are wonderful things.
They last til the longest day
Hey never wear out,
They never get lost,
And they can never be taken away.
To some, you may be forgotten.
To others, a part of the past.
But to us who loved and lost you,
Your memory will always last.
--Lovingly remembered by wife, Annie.

VAREY--In loving memory of a dad and a popa Wayne Varey who left us one year ago on November 3, 2005.
We think of you every day
It hurts to know you are gone
Within our hearts we will always keep
A special place for you.
This world would be a heaven
Could we hear your voice and see your face again.
You didn't deserve what you went through.
So God came and gave you rest.
Loving and missing you always, Lorraine, Ken, Bradley, Britney, Thomas.

VAREY--In loving memory of a Dad and Popa, Wayne Varey, who left us two years ago on November 3, 2005.
We think of you every day
It brings back a day we will never forget.
He went away without saying goodbye
But our memories of him will never die.
The tears we shed will wipe away
But the ache in our hearts
Will always stay.
Loving and missing you always, Lorraine, Ken, Brad, Jess, Britney and Thomas.
